BNL BLAM Tour! Barenaked Ladies is One of Canada's musical wonders!

Rocking Fun! That captures the Barenaked Ladies BLAM Tour Concert in Ottawa at Scotiabank Place on February 21. This is a group to be experienced LIVE! BNL is a group that truly loves to play together and to a crowd. Their seemingly spontaneous stage antics and banter creates a great Musical Comedy. Barenaked Ladies are great musicians and they are funny guys! They engaged the Ottawa audience by retooling lyrics to include well researched localisms. Tyler Stewart for Prime Minister, Winterlude, World's longest skating rink, Beaver tails, Potine, ice sculptures were included in both lyrics and rants by Steve and Ed. Tyler's eating fascination with very large milk shakes and the salt shaker (now a maraca) which he purchased at the Stittsville Flea Market, caused a funny musical miscue. BNL even referenced Carp, Arnprior, and Nepean. The tasteful stage was masterfully animated with complex lighting effects. Kevin Hearn performed his vocal debut with Serendipity on their newest album – Barenaked Ladies are Men.

BNL is very much a band to be experienced LIVE!

The opening act for Barenaked Ladies was Tomi (pronounced Tommy) Swick from Hamilton Ontario. Tomi Swick is a Great singer and the band has a mature full instrument sound – love the guitar rifts and effects. These guys know how to play! This alternative singer has some of the overtones of Tom Cochrane (Red Rider) and Paul Simon. Treating us to their original music, they also mastered a version of Graceland that matched the Paul Simon rendition. Buy their CD – Stalled Out in the Doorway – is end-to-end great!
